Western Union reported Q2 2026 results on July 30, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.31, missing the $0.42 estimate by 26.28%. Revenue was about $1.0 billion, 0.65% below the consensus. EPS fell about 26% from $0.42 in Q2 2025, while revenue stayed near the $1.0 billion level of a year earlier.
The longer record was flat until this year. Annual EPS held between $1.74 and $1.76 in each fiscal year from 2022 through 2025. The first half of 2026 adds up to $0.56 per share, about 33% less than the $0.83 in the same half of 2025. Q1 2026, at $0.25, was the lowest quarter in the table, and Q2 2026 was the second lowest. Quarterly revenue has eased from $1.3 billion in late 2021 to around $1.0 billion. Over the last 20 quarters, Western Union beat the EPS estimate 14 times, but the two most recent quarters were its largest misses in that span.
Western Union reported Q3 results between October 23 and November 2 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether earnings return toward the $0.40-plus range of earlier quarters.
